to comeWallachian uprising (1821) - Comment: The King is the leading male character, and the recording likely the first ever of that opera, but I couldn't find a source for that yet.

- Forget the comment: I found a ref that it was the first recording, and tweaked the hook accordingly. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 18:51, 13 February 2018 (UTC)
This article is new enough and long enough and the image suitably licensed. The hook facts are cited inline to a German language source. The article is neutral and I detected no copyright issues. The article provides attribution to the equivalent German Wikipedia article. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 20:02, 27 February 2018 (UTC)
